Analysis of As plan for Noon and plan for Night

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



As plan for Noon and plan for Night
So differ Life and Death
In positive Prospective—
The Foot upon the Earth

At Distance, and Achievement, strains,
The Foot upon the Grave
Makes effort at conclusion
Assisted faint of Love.
